About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Music is from Cheetahmen II (Super Ghouls and Ghosts for level 4). Videos from stage 2, 3 and 4 are in the extended. Unforgiving! [source: Lord Jezo]
